A Thrush S-2R-T660 Thrush 710P, EC-MXF, experienced a right main landing gear collapse while landing on runway 18 at Castellón Airfield (LECN), Spain.
The aircraft landed at Castellón Airport (LECN) after having carried out a forest fire observation and surveillance flight.
According to the information provided by the pilot, after the aircraft made contact with the runway, he began to reverse the engine to stop the aircraft and noticed that the aircraft was starting to drift to the right. He then applied the left brake pedal to try to counteract the deviation. It seemed to him that the brake was not entirely effective as he was not noticing any results. Moments later and suddenly, the aircraft made a sharp turn to the left and began to skid. The right leg of the main landing gear collapsed during the skid. The failure of this gear element allowed the right wing and propeller to impact the ground.
The aircraft finally came to rest on the edge of the runway, turned 180° from the direction in which it had landed.
The pilot was unhurt and was able to abandon the aircraft under his own power.
